The Dutch Trading Companies as Knowledge Networks de Siegfried Huigen

The Dutch Trading Companies as Knowledge Networks: Intersections, cartea 14

Siegfried Huigen, Jan L. de Jong, Elmer Kolfin
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 aug 2010
For more than a century, from about 1600 until the early eighteenth century, the Dutch dominated world trade. Via the Netherlands the far reaches of the world, both in the Atlantic and in the East, were connected. Dutch ships carried goods, but they also opened up opportunities for the exchange of knowledge. The commercial networks of the Dutch trading companies provided an infrastructure which was accessible to people with a scholarly interest in the exotic world. The present collection of essays brings together a number of studies about knowledge construction that depended on the Dutch trading networks.

Contributors include: Paul Arblaster, Hans den Besten, Frans Blom, Britt Dams, Adrien Delmas, Alette Fleischer, Antje Flüchter, Michiel van Groesen, Henk de Groot, Julie Berger Hochstrasser, Grégoire Holtz, Siegfried Huigen, Elspeth Jajdelska, Maria-Theresia Leuker, Edwin van Meerkerk, Bruno Naarden, and Christina Skott.

Recenzii

"This excellent collection of essays helps to further a powerful new turn in historical studies related to the production of knowledge. [...] As a collected volume, [...] these papers represent the kind of connected global histories that so many people understandably find exciting. [...] Readers will therefore find this volume an indispensable guide to the conflicts and absences, as well as positive achievements, of the knowledge networks associated with the VOC and WIC."
Harold Cook, Brown University. In: The Journal of Modern History, Vol. 84, No. 3 (September 2012), pp. 756-758.

‘’Many scholars of the early modern world will find inspiration here’’.
Martha Chaiklin, University of Pittsburgh. In: Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol. 43, No. 1, (2012), p. 185.

"The Dutch Trading Companies as Knowledge Networks is a fascinating collection of essays that explores the many modes through which various scholars, soldiers, politicians, artists, religious men, and even one woman, made use of the infrastructure of the Dutch trading companies to grow European knowledge of the wider world in myriad ways."
Anne Good, Reinhardt University. In: Itinetario, Vol. 35, No. 2 (August 2011), pp. 106-108.

"The Dutch Trading Companies as Knowledge Networks shows convincingly that both the VOC and WIC functioned as quite efficient systems of information gathering stimulating the accumulation of knowledge, though primarily for reasons of profit and power."
Markus P.M. Vink, State University of New York at Fredonia. In: Journal of Early Modern History, Vol. 15, No. 6 (2011), pp. 587-591.
